Kinda fucks with the narrative that "licensed gun owners aren't the problem", eh?

Did he pull it out or they just seen he was carrying and freak out, seen that happen before, need to see the surveillance footage there may be more to the story.

It is not a thing down here as open carry is legal in the Carolinas. Unfortunately, back in New Yorkistan, - not so much.

I had my guns seized for 6 months after my ex-wife and her boyfriend called my local PD to ask whether or not I had a CCW permit. And an asshole there told them (in violation of NY law) that I did. They then showed up at my home (after they had been told to stay away) and when I went outside on my own property they began screaming that I had a gun, and called 911, even though I had in no manner whatsoever menaced them, - or in any manner even admitted or in any way printed or did anything else that alluded that I even owned a handgun, or was carrying. (Which I was).

Maybe this guy menaced them, and maybe he didn't. We'll see.

But in my own personal experience, it doesn't take much of anything for assholes to make trouble for licensed CCW holders in NY.

Don't fuck with old people. Life in prison doesn't mean much to them.

Nowhere in this story are the details of the incident. How many were there, that he was arguing with? Were they similar to him? Same age, same race, same size? Was he in fear of being maimed or harmed?

I hate stories with no details.

Yep, but all it takes is one for the gun grabbers to latch on to.

A 36 hour training course and forced wearing of covid masks would have prevented this.

For gun owners, there are added risks involved when they get into a road rage incident. Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor discuss Emily's most recent brush with road rage, added risk factors for gun owners, and ways to mitigate that risk.

[Acer-m14]

So where is the damn charges for brandishing a knife or lead pipe or baseball bat or a fkin hammer ..
